SAVE

MODES

The printer is equipped with a Power Save mode to reduce power consumption when it is

left idle. The default idle time from last print activity until the printer enters Power Saver

mode is 5 minutes. This time can be adjusted by the operator to any of the following times:

5, 15, 30, 60 or 120 minutes.

When no print data is received within 5 minutes (default) since the last page is printed, the

printer will enter Power Saver mode. An informative message is displayed on the operator

panel LCD indicating Power Saver Mode. In this mode, the printer allows the fuser to cool,

but power is still supplied to the mechanical parts of the printer. Consumption of power

during Power Saver mode is 50 Watts or less, and the time required to exit from Power

Saver mode to a print-ready status can be up to 45 seconds.

There is a second stage of power reduction called Sleep mode. The default idle time from

last print activity until the printer transitions from Power Saver mode to Sleep mode is 30

minutes. This time can be adjusted by the operator to any of the following times: 30, 60,

120, or 180 minutes. In this mode, the printer will turn off all power to the mechanical

components of the printer and installed options. Consumption of power during Sleep mode

is less than 8 Watts, and the time required to exit from Sleep mode to a print-ready status

can be up to 45 seconds plus the time to reinitialise mechanical options.

> Avoid printing over the area where the envelope seams meet.

> Never use envelopes with windows or metal clasps; they can damage the printer.

> Ensure that the envelopes are stored in a cool and dry place and in their original

packaging. If not, heat and humidity can cause the envelopes to seal before or

during printing.

> Load a maximum stack height of 10mm (.4 in).

> Close the flaps of the envelopes and load them with the address side facing down.

> Remove excess air from envelopes before loading into the MPF.

> When using commercial flap envelopes with side seams (vs. diagonal seams), verify

that the side seams are cut all the way to the corner of the envelope.

> Place C4 envelopes short-edge feed in the tray.

> Place Monarch, “10, C5 and DL envelopes long-edge feed in the tray.
